I found that once I had decided I wanted to lose the weight, It became a bit of a goal for me, I need goals to motivate myself, the first 2 weeks were tough, but it gets easier. You can do it, if you really want it.
Yes, I'll definitely do it, because there are certain thresholds I don't want to cross, and I'm getting close to that. Being a bit larger in certain areas isn't always bad though!

Good for you I refuse to comment any further as it would be used against me :o

The lockdowns messed with that, and it became too easy to comfort eat and drink too much. I'm only just getting out of that mindset now.
I just need to get into the right frame of mind, if I can then I know I can shift the kilos. I'm classed as overweight by BMI which is a relief that I'm not classed as obese because I have been before. Being only 4ft 11' really doesn't help matters :)

Not sure how much store I set by BMI tbh, I go more on what feels comfortable for me. I'm 5ft 10", which does help in carrying a bit of weight, but I've always felt self conscious about being tall. I was a ridiculous bean pole at school!

BMI a load of old nonsense Swannie. And I’ve been told that by a friend who happens to be a GP.
Far more important is diet. Also a ratio between waist size/height is far more important. All the fat sits round some vital organs after all.
Diet is the main thing though 100%.
BMI says I’m slightly overweight. I’m 6’ and 13 stone ffs. Not a bloody jockey am I :lol:

BMI isnt something i look at either. At 6' 2" and 18st....i too am regatded as obese as lufc1304 says..but for me its how comfortable i feel and what i eat. A mixture of Thai food and Ham salads is my latest fare. My biggest sin is beer..but although im retired and only go out a couple of times a week..sometimes only once to play Pool.
I was 11st wet into my mid 20s....and then busted my shoulder needing an Op. Afterwards i hit the hospital gym..and was back to work a month early. Unfortunately i stop the gym and piled on 3st in about 4mths..ive never lost it.
I left UK 11yrs ago..and was 16st..and in my first year shot up to 19st 🥺
I then moved into a house in a gated village with a 20m community pool. I hit that nearly every day and push myself until im breathing heavy..usually 20 lengths. I should walk more..but with temps regularly above 30°....it can be difficult.
I tried cycling in my early days....but the roads here can be treacherous....so binned that and swapped up to a M/bike lol.
Life is sweet. 🙏
